MLB Week

Major League Baseball couldn't be happier with how business is going entering its final week of the season.

The new playoff format has created late-season drama that owners originally hoped for with many historic franchises at the forefront. Individual players - like Mr. Triple Crown Miguel Cabrera of Detroit - and the Angels superstar rookie Mike Trout have produced blockbuster and historic numbers. Don't forget the new eight-year television deal with Fox and TBS, insuring MLB billions of dollars in the future, capped a plentiful week and season.
